Postural instability is a symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that reduces independence and increases the risk of falls. Increased activity in the prefrontal cortex region appears to be associated with a strategy to minimize the decline in postural control efficiency associated with normal aging, which increases to compensate for abnormal deficiencies resulting from PD. This increased act…
Among the dysfunctions resulting from Parkinson's Disease (PD), impairments of the gait are strongly associated with the decrease in independence in activities of daily life and, consequently, a reduction in the quality of life of patients and their family members. In part, gait impairment is due to disability automaticity, that is, the ability of the nervous system to coordinate, with su…
Walking in dual-task (DT) conditions, i.e., concomitantly with another cognitive task, in everyday life it is the norm and not the exception. This is possible because control of the gait is automatic, i.e., postural adjustments and rhythmic repetitive movements are carried out without attention being clearly directed to the details of each step. Despite this, even young adults present cha…
